Houston Hot Sauce Festival; Better Burger Barn in Alvin

STAFFORD—The Houston Hot Sauce Festival is this weekend (and ironically, it's in Stafford). Scald your taste buds and experience ass burn—no really, there's a locally produced hot sauce called Ass Burn—for a mere $5 admission fee. This Saturday and Sunday. [29-95]

ALVIN—The large patio at the Barbed Rose in Alvin, fondly known as the Burger Bar, is having a grand re-opening tonight. Grab a burger and hear live music from 6-9 p.m. Bonus, margaritas will be $1.99. [Eaterwire]
